Two weeks after Dranesville Supervisor John Foust’s office hosted the ribbon-cutting ceremony launching McLean Community: A Village for all Ages (MCVA), one of the core programs McLean Senior Source (MSS) is fielding calls from McLean residents.
MSS is a free information source about services and resources that residents may need but often don't know exist. Staffed by Fairfax County-trained volunteers, MSS seeks to support McLean residents choosing to stay in place, stay informed, and stay connected.
Volunteers are fielding questions like:

· I can no longer drive. Who can I call for transportation to my doctors and to do my grocery shopping?
· What activities & groups could my parent join to meet people in their age group, and volunteer with, in McLean?

MSS provides information on services and resources that help residents with a range of issues including greater community involvement, daily living solutions, aging education, entertainment & enrichment choices, financial help & management, health & wellness, housing solutions, health insurance, legal resources, recreational facilities, social connections to transportation & accessibility. Referrals are for services and resources provided by Fairfax County government, faith-based, and other nonprofit organizations.
The three ways to reach MSS include:
1) Phone: 703-300-1751
